May 17

I am a creature of habit. So is Brady. So this morning, we did exactly what we did a week ago: after drop-off, we went home for a few minutes, picked up a bag on mini rice cakes, and went to Starbucks, where I had some coffee and he had a cup of ice water.

We sat in those big chairs and enjoyed our drinks and talked and swapped silly faces. And I couldn't help but to reflect that despite the challenges and the heartaches, aspects of this life are so good --like the fact that I get to look at this little face every day-- that God must certainly be in them.
